Amber color. Aromas of pecan praline, sweet ginger-green tea, tellicherry peppercorns, and ripe pear with a satiny, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a smooth, complex, medium-long nut brittle, sweet cola, licorice, and creme de violette finish. Great flavor range and a big spicy/floral rye presence makes this an easy choice when seeking a Whiskey off the beaten path.

Distilled from Rye Mash Whiskey is a relatively arcane category, taking into effect only a few American whiskies with a bourbon mash bill but aged in barrels that are not new white American oak; these may have other non traditional aging or processing. Examples tend to be less complex than true bourbons, but these products can be crowd pleasers.
